the united states has a stronger philosophical attachment to freedom and limited government than any other nation on earth, and yet i also recognize that many cultural trends are working against us. for example, nearly 41% of all american children are now born to unmarried women, compared with fewer than 11% in 1970. without stable two-parent fatherfamilies, the government s more of a burden in caring for these programs. and at some point this makes it harder to maintain a political consensus that favors limited government and economic freedom and programs that help people out of poverty rather than entrenching it. why? to quote princeton scholar robert m. george, "limited government cannot be maintained where the limited culture collapsed and families easily dissolve. where these things hangars the health, education, and welfare functions of the family will have to be undertaken by someone or some institution and that sooner or later will be govern governed." in other words, in the absence of two-parent families, the government fills the financial role of the father, to say nothing
